THEMATIC REVIEW

Theme Content from Periods 1-5Key terms, events, documents, groups, people

American & National IdentityThis theme focuses on the formation of both American national identity and group identities in U.S. history. Students should be able to explain how various identities, cultures, and values have been preserved or changed in different contexts of U.S. history, with special attention given to the formation of gender, class, racial, and ethnic identities. Students should be able to explain how these sub-identities have interacted with each other and with larger conceptions of U.S. national identity. Explain how ideas about democracy, freedom, and individualism found

expression in the development of cultural values, political institutions, and American identity.

Explain how interpretations of the Constitution and debates over rights, liberties, and definitions of citizenship have affected American values, politics, and society.

Analyze how ideas about national identity changed in response to U.S. involvement in international conflicts and the growth of the U.S.

Analyze relationships among different regional, social, ethnic, and racial groups, and explain how these groups’ experiences have related to U.S. national identity.

Politics and PowerStudents should examine ongoing debates over the role of the state in society and its potential as an active agent for change. This includes mechanisms for creating, implementing, or limiting participation in the political process and the resulting

12

social effects, as well as the changing relationships among the branches of the federal government and among national, state, and local governments. Students should trace efforts to define or gain access to individual rights and citizenship and survey the evolutions of tensions between liberty and authority in different periods of U.S. history. Explain how and why political ideas, beliefs, institutions, party systems, and

alignments have developed and changed. Explain how popular movements, reform efforts, and activists groups have

sought to change American society and institutions. Explain how different beliefs about the federal government’s role in U.S. social

and economic life have affected political debates and policies.

Work, Exchange, and TechnologyThis theme focuses on the development of American economies based on agriculture, commerce, and manufacturing. Students should examine ways that different economic and labor systems, technological innovations, and government policies have shaped society. Students should explore the lives of working people and the relationships among social classes, racial and ethnic groups, and men and women, including the availability of land and labor, national and international economic developments, and the role of government support and regulation. Explain how different labor systems developed in North America and the U.S.,

and explain their effects on workers’ lives and U.S. society. Explain how patterns of exchange, markets, and private enterprise have

developed, and analyze ways that govt.’s have responded to economic issues. Analyze how technological innovation has affected economic development

and society.

Culture and SocietyThis theme explores the roles that ideas, beliefs, social mores, and creative expression have played in shaping the U.S. Students should examine the development of aesthetic, moral, religious, scientific, and philosophical principles and consider how these principles have affected individual and group actions. Students should analyze the interactions between beliefs and communities, economic values, and political movements, including attempts to change American society to align it with specific ideals. Explain how religious groups and ideas have affected American society and

political life. Explain how artistic, philosophical, and scientific ideas have developed and shaped

our society and institutions. Explain how ideas about women’s rights and gender roles have affected society

identities, have emerged and changed over time.

Migration and SettlementThis theme focuses on why and how the various people who moved to, from, and within the U.S. adapted to their new social and physical environments. Students examine migration across borders and long distances, including the slave trade and internal migration, and how both newcomers and indigenous inhabitants transformed North America. The theme also illustrates how people responded when “borders crossed them.” Students explore the ideas, beliefs, traditions, technologies, religions, and gender roles that migrants/immigrants and annexed peoples brought with them and the impact these factors had on both these peoples and on U.S. society. Explain the causes of migration to colonial North America and, later, the U.S., and

analyze immigration’s effects on U.S. society. Analyze causes of internal migration and patterns of settlement in what would

become the U.S., and explain how migration has affected American life.

13

Geography and the Environment This theme examines the role of environment, geography, and climate in both constraining and shaping human actions. Students should analyze the interaction between the environment and Americans in their efforts to survive and thrive. Students should also explore efforts to interpret, preserve, manage, or exploit natural and man-made environments, as well as the historical contexts within which interactions with the environment have taken place. Explain how geographic and environmental factors shaped the development of

various communities, and analyze how competition for and debates over natural resources have affected both interactions among different groups and the development of government policies.

America in the WorldIn this theme, students should focus on the global context in which the U.S. originated and developed as well as the influence of the U.S. on world affairs. Students should examine how various world actors (such as people, states, organizations, and companies) have competed for the territory and resources of the North American continent, influencing the development of both American and world societies and economies. Students should also investigate how American foreign policies and military actions have affected the rest of the world as well as social issues within the United States itself. Explain how cultural interaction, cooperation, competition, and conflict between

empires, nations, and peoples have influenced political, economic, and social developments in North America.
